Examining the Impact of Political Issues in 2018: The Dan Bongino show hosts anticipate the real-world consequences of net neutrality, tax cuts, individual mandate, deregulation, education reform, and Arctic drilling in 2018, believing liberal predictions of disaster will be unfounded, as seen during Reagan's time.
The hosts of the Dan Bongino show are looking forward to seeing the real-world consequences of various political issues in 2018, including the repeal of net neutrality, tax cuts, the individual mandate, deregulation, education reform, and Arctic drilling. They believe that the liberal predictions of disaster, such as thousands of Americans dying, will be proven false, just as similar predictions during the Reagan administration were exaggerated. Despite the lack of conservative media during Reagan's time, he still managed to win re-election in a landslide. With the abundance of conservative media today, the hosts are confident that the truth will prevail and the Trump administration's agenda will be successful.
Impact of media on public perception during economic growth: Media bias during economic growth can skew public perception, but increased transparency from various news outlets and social media may help mitigate its influence.
The current political climate, with the use of executive orders and tax legislation, has the potential to bring about significant economic growth similar to the Reagan years. However, the media's portrayal of these actions can skew public perception, as was the case during Reagan's presidency. Now, with the proliferation of various news outlets and social media, the public has more access to information and can make informed decisions based on real-time data. This increased transparency may help mitigate the influence of biased media coverage. The economic growth under Trump, as indicated by low unemployment rates and industry booms, may eventually change the narrative and make it harder for people to remain willfully ignorant.
No evidence of Trump-Russia collusion: Continue focusing on personal goals and health, no need to obsess over Trump-Russia story. Try Dawn to Dusk energy supplement and Field of Greens diet product for well-being.
Despite ongoing investigations, there is still no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia. The speaker expressed his fatigue with the continuous coverage of the Trump-Russia story and encouraged listeners to focus on other matters, such as personal goals and health. He endorsed Brickhouse Nutrition's Dawn to Dusk energy supplement and Field of Greens diet product as effective tools for maintaining energy and overall health. The speaker also shared his unconventional New Year's resolution to gain weight and build muscle, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing one's well-being.
Shifting focus from Trump campaign to origins of Russia investigation: Possible misuse of fake dossier in Trump campaign spying operation raises concerns for constitutional crisis, with George Papadopoulos' bar comments potentially initiating the investigation a possible distraction.
The focus of the investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is shifting from the actions of the Trump team to the origins of the investigation itself. The question of whether information from a fake dossier, which contained information supplied by Russian intelligence, was used to spy on the Trump team is now a major concern. This could potentially lead to a constitutional crisis if it is found to be true. The New York Times reported this weekend that George Papadopoulos, a low-level campaign advisor, may have initiated the investigation with his comments in a bar about Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton. However, some believe this story is being used to distract from the dossier and the possible role of the DNC and Russian intel in the spying operation on the Trump campaign. The implications of these revelations are significant and could have major consequences for American politics.
The Role of George Papadopoulos in the Russia Investigation: Despite Papadopoulos' claims being a potential catalyst, the dossier may have played a more significant role in initiating the Russia investigation. The FBI's handling of information raises questions about their priorities.
The focus on George Papadopoulos as the catalyst for the Russia investigation may be a distraction from the significance of the dossier. If Papadopoulos' claims were the true reason for the investigation, why wasn't he interviewed before the inauguration? Additionally, the FBI had credible information about potential Russian interference from other sources but didn't reach out. The investigation's origins remain a contentious issue, with some arguing that the dossier played a more crucial role. The discussion also touched on the organic food industry, with a reminder that not all health claims about organic foods are backed by scientific evidence.
Organic Food: Healthier but No More Nutritious: Organic food may be healthier due to fewer pesticides and potentially more healthy fats, but there's no solid proof it's more nutritious than non-organic food.
The health benefits of organic food are still a subject of debate. While organic food can be healthier due to the absence of certain pesticides and potentially higher levels of healthy fats in organic meats, there is no concrete evidence that organic food provides more vitamins and minerals than non-organic food. Additionally, food poisoning can still occur with organic food. Regarding the ongoing protests in Iran, a significant difference from the 2009 protests is the geographic disbursement of the current protests across the country, which is taking away the regime's narrative that these are elitist protests and allowing the working class to take center stage. The liberal elites' panic over the protests and attempts to shape the narrative should be approached with caution.
Misguided attempts to portray Iran as having moderated: The Iranian protests were not driven by economic issues, but rather by the regime's oppression and imposition of terror. The media's framing of the protests as economic should be viewed with caution, and the balance of power in the Middle East should not be achieved by arming repressive regimes.
The Obama administration's attempts to seek reconciliation with Iran and portray the regime as having moderated were misguided. The protests in Iran were not primarily about the economy, but rather about the regime's imposition of terror and draconian laws on its people. The media's efforts to frame the protests as economic in nature should be viewed with caution. Additionally, the balance of power in the Middle East should not be achieved by giving weapons to regimes that openly threaten America. The Iranian regime's actions and rhetoric contradict the narrative of moderation, and the protests in the streets demonstrate the dissatisfaction of the Iranian people with their government. It is important to be prepared for emergencies, including potential disruptions to food supplies, and companies like My Patriot Supply can help ensure that individuals and families have access to long-lasting food supplies.
Hypocrisy in Healthcare and Government: It's inconsistent to support no profit in healthcare and government redistribution, yet profit from it through large raises for politicians.
While some people advocate for no profit in healthcare and government redistribution of wealth, it's hypocritical for them to support politicians like Bill de Blasio who give themselves large raises, profiting from the government they claim to serve. The speaker encourages listeners to consider their consistent beliefs and actions, especially when it comes to healthcare and government. Additionally, the speaker offers a solution for personal emergency preparedness with a one-month food supply available for $99 at MyPatriot Supply through PrepareWithDan.com.
Political figures' private actions vs public beliefs: People's public stances don't always reflect their private actions, highlighting the importance of consistency in personal and political beliefs.
Hypocrisy exists on all sides of the political spectrum. A person's public beliefs don't always align with their private actions. For instance, a person advocating for equality while taking more money from the government than necessary. This was discussed in relation to a public figure's contradictory stance on socialist principles and personal wealth. Another example was a college professor's request for students to display gender pronoun name cards, while historically, Democrats have been the ones advocating for laws that label people based on physical characteristics. It's essential to acknowledge these inconsistencies and encourage adherence to one's stated principles.
Identity politics leads to a labels-based culture: Identity politics diminishes individuality and human dignity, creating a culture where people are defined by their labels rather than as equal citizens, and encourages dependency on the left for protection.
Identity politics, as promoted by the left, is leading society towards a labels-based culture where individuals are defined primarily by their labels rather than as equal citizens. This relabeling of society places people in victim classes and creates a perception of constant attack, making them dependent on the left for protection. Instead of focusing on personal growth and productivity, individuals are encouraged to prioritize their labels while in college and beyond. This is a dangerous trend that diminishes the value of individuality and human dignity. Trump's personnel decisions in 2017 were a critical story as people truly are policy.
Trump's winning strategy: Surrounding himself with talented individuals: Trump's success in governance relies on his team's expertise, leading to streamlined processes and elimination of red tape.
President Trump's success in governance lies in his ability to surround himself with talented and capable individuals. He recognizes that he doesn't need to be an expert in every area, but rather, he trusts his team to understand the complexities and navigate the machinery of government. Appointments such as Naomi Rao, John Kelly, and Mick Mulvaney have been instrumental in streamlining processes and eliminating red tape. Trump's focus on personnel has been a winning strategy, and it's essential to continue recognizing the importance of this approach as we move forward.
